Well, I think, the /dev/snd/* devices files have to exist. Do you use
udevd? If not, I guess you have to create these files manually - or by
using the snddevices script in alsa-driver package.
If you use udevd, then - perhaps - your are missing some rules files
(/etc/udev/rules.d). Have a look at your Linux distributions rules files
of your host PC.

I cannot really say something about your questions - I hadn't to create
any special config. files, when I started using my own driver (for a
PPC405 based board (ML403)). I just cross-compiled and installed
alsa-lib and alsa-tools (to have aplay and arecord).
